I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! I did a round-up of some of my favorite things from blog that are on sale right now for Cyber Monday (while I lay and digest my turkey and pies) and some new items below.

I have not been able to post the past few days because unfortunately I have injured myself . First things first – I am selling my house in Rosemary Beach (very sad but good news I am building a new house in Rosemary) and while I was packing up some boxes and lifting them out the door I must have torn a muscle in my chest. I pretty much can’t move my left side, can’t drive, can’t hold or push anything. I came home on Sunday and went straight to the ER – I have been here since. Monday morning I had surgery to remove the fluids which had built up and it turns out the fluid was infected so now I am taking tons of antibiotics to ensure there is no infection.

All the nurses over the past three days have been incredible and they have made my stay so comfortable and so painless! The doctors are good but the nurses make all the difference during your stay in a hospital. I am hopefully checking out today and I am looking forward to being less loopy and going home to sleep in my own bed. Hopefully I will continue to mend and can get back to my outfit posts very soon.

When I saw these shoes Pigalle Follies by Christian Louboutin, I loved them right away. The color is so vibrant and versatile. The flowers on the shoe have a watercolor painting quality to them and that makes them just dreamy! They also have a perfect heel at four inches and I have visions of pairing them with casual outfits and some dressy ones as well.

I hope everyone had a great weekend! My Mom is in town so I have been enjoying spending some quality time with her. We have also been indulging in all my favorite pastimes – shopping, eating and chatting. 🙂

I want to share some great finds that we came across:

Ankle Pants

Everyone needs a great pair of black pants and this pair is perfect! I love the fit and the ankle grazing length. They come in a multitude of colors but the black is perfect (I also like the Clay, Dark Steel, and Houndstooth). Did I mention they are on sale for $25? Don’t walk, run to your computer and order asap.Old Navy Pixie Pants – $25

Leather Bodice Dress

The simplicity of this dress is incredible. The black faux-leather bodice with the sheath dress is chic and on trend for fall. And the look of this dress can be changed easily with shoes and accessories, transforming it from day to night in an instant. It is the perfect LBD.

I love the color and functionality of this bag. Great for running around all over town and keeping my hands free (it also comes in a blush pink but with Fall finally here the olive green is just dreamy).

I am a huge fan of heels and 99% of the time you will find me in heels, however for the 1% when I am not I like to have a chic (yet comfortable) pair of flats. These metallic gold drivers are just the thing. I adore them and wear mine all the time! They also come in a beautiful gray (gun smoke here), and pink metallic (Rose Gold here).

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far! I have some exciting news to share – the article Winter Whites & Gold Midas Touch is featured in this week’s Independent Fashion Bloggers Project Roundup #124 as one of their favorites. Independent Fashion Bloggers is a site with over 52,000 members, each with their own fashion blogs. Each week they have a fun contest featuring different themes. Congratulations to all the other winners it was a fabulous selection of Winter Whites. And thank you to the IFB for this amazing honor – it was the perfect holiday gift for me to receive this season!

How happy do I look?
